Why Give?

SHPE National Convention 2021
UMBC’s first trip to the SHPE National Convention, 2021.

The Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers at UMBC bolsters the Hispanic and Latinx students within the College of Engineering and Information Technology. Our undergraduate and graduate students are engineers, computer scientists, mathematicians, and scientists, first and foremost.

At the heart of our organization is the Familia. A signature of our Hispanic culture, SHPE has all the elements of a healthy family: we face collective challenges together, foster new opportunities, and provide unconditional support.

You can play a part in this important mission. A gift to SHPE will directly support our programming, including funding scholarships, connecting mentors, and offering cutting-edge learning opportunities.

Whatever the size of your gift, thank you for joining our work. Every donor makes a difference for our chapter and throughout the Hispanic and Latinx community at UMBC. Most importantly, every gift makes a difference to our members. We are grateful to have you with us.
